Retail fuels
Saudi Arabia is a country on the go. Every day we supply high-quality fuels to the local marketplace for auto, home, and business. Our network of domestic refineries and distribution centers position us to create more value for our company and our customers through greater operational efficiencies and the introduction of new revenue-generating product lines.
Aramco has developed a retail strategy that will initially focus on establishing its presence in the Kingdom in advance of its long-term goal to be one of the primary global retail players. It intends to offer consumers a new line of automotive services, as part of its commitment to diversify its downstream portfolio.
In 2019 we entered into a 50:50 joint venture with Total to operate service stations in the Kingdom by acquiring a network of 270 service stations in the Kingdom under the “Sahel” brand name. Together with Total we intend to expand and/or rebrand these newly acquired service stations in the future.
From gasoline to kerosene to sales gas, our customers enjoy a range of retail fuel products that help keep the Kingdom’s economy thriving and its people living more mobile, productive.

How to choose the right fuel for your vehicle
PG91 is suitable for most modern cars. PG95 is a premium grade gasoline appropriate for higher-performance cars. If you’re not sure of your vehicle’s correct octane rating, check the owner’s manual or ask the manufacturer or dealer where you purchased the vehicle. Sometimes, the recommended fuel can be found on a sticker inside the filling cap.
In most cases, a vehicle will not benefit from using an octane higher than recommended by the manufacturer. Unless you’re driving a performance vehicle, you’re unlikely to see any improvements by using fuel with a higher octane, and you will pay more for no additional benefit.
Using a lower-octane grade petrol than that recommended by the manufacturer risks long-term damage to the engine of your car. So, there is a chance that using a low-octane fuel in an engine that requires a higher octane will damage the engine, whereas there is no harm in using a higher-octane grade than specified.
Learn about octane numbers
PG95 is a 95 Research Octane Number (RON) octane grade gasoline, and PG91 is a 91 RON octane grade gasoline.
Mostly, fuels with a higher octane rating are used in high-compression engines, which have higher performance requirements. The higher the octane number, the more compression the fuel can withstand before detonating.
Specifically, the octane number relates to the engine’s compression ratio, which is an indication of the anti-knock ratio of the fuel that determines the amount of compression the fuel can handle before it ignites. The Anti-Knock Index (AKI) is the average of a fuel’s RON and Motor Octane Number (MON): (R+M)/2.
RON and MON are determined by using a special engine with a variable compression ratio, and comparing the knock qualities of a given fuel to that of reference fuels.
